Upgrading..
by Guest phantom- 0 replies
- 277 views
I'm planning on updating my computer, and want some opinions and/or suggestions. Note that I am an Intel/ATI person, although considering how AMD bought ATI you might be able to convince me to choose nVidia (although I didn't leave Google even though they partnered with AOL <.<). Currently I am on: 2.6 GHz Pentum 4 1.5 GB DDR RAM (I think it's 400 MHz) 256 MB ATI RADEON 9550 AGP video card http://beatme101.com/images/xblade.jpg An old, but still quite good 17 inch Compaq FS740 monitor that maxes at 1280*1024*32@60. I have 3 hard drives, which I plan to transfer to the new rig. They're fast drives (all 7200 RPM), 2 IDE and 1 SATA. ~740 GB (40 + 300…

All of a sudden, my Media Player cannot play files anymore. It just gave me the above error. I think it's not Media Player but the file association. But I just can't find where I need to do the repairs. Any advice ? Thanks !

Supreme Commander
by Guest phantom- 1 reply
- 287 views
I'm trying to get this game (Supreme Commander) working in Windows 2000 Professional SP4. As you may know, it only supports Windows XP SP2. There is no way I would ever put Windows XP on this computer, and SP2 is even worse than that. Is there any way I can get the functions it requires from XP into 2000 to get this game to work? I heard a similar thing has been done with Halo 2, getting it to work on XP instead of just Vista. The first error I have so far to attempt to overcome is: SupremeCommander.exe - Entry Point Not Found The proceure entry point getaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll. I heard this could be fixed by…

auto-switch LAN to dialup?
by Guest Gretch- 3 replies
- 336 views
Is there some mechanism by which we could test, perhaps every minute, for Internet connectivity via the LAN interface (e.g., ping a remote nameserver), and if that has failed, initiate an already-named dialup connection? We have a satellite connection which occasionally "goes down" due to severe weather on either end, and need to re-establish an Internet connection via dialup while unattended for a single w2000 machine as necessary. Thank you.

this is the weirdest problem i've ever seen. We have a user who's first print job from her RDC session always hangs every day. Then when she logs off the server and back on to clear her virtual print queue mapped to the network printer installed on her local computer, she can then print. I've tried deleting her profile from the server, reinstalling the printer on her local computer, no such luck. Any ideas of what could I could possibly try next???? She use mstsc to connect to the 2000 SP4 server. Even cancelling the job in her virtual print queue doesn't work, it just sits at Deleting forever until she logs off. Is there some sort of logging I can …

Reapplying updates
by Guest Andrew- 2 replies

I remeber reading something about this 4 or 5 years ago and just need some refreshing! I have a Windows 2000 server all up to date (SP4 etc). I want to now install IIS using the original Windows 2000 CD which does not include any services packs, how do I know what updates I need to apply afterwards. If re-apply SP4 that would over-write any updates I had done after originally applying SP4 thus requiring me to perform all those updates again? Would it be enough to run SP4 then check the windows update web site, or would I need to manually re-apply all updates since SP4. Also in general, if I am required to pull files from a Windows 2000 CD that ha…

I'm anal about window size and positions
by Guest jim- 3 replies
- 286 views
but W2K doesn't seem to share my analness. Does anyone know why W2K doesn't reliably, after closing a window by shutting down the app, restore it to the size and position that it occupied on the screen when you next open that app? If it's just a W2K quirk, and I'm thinking it is after diddleing with it off and on since W2K was released, is there a utility that's "better than others" that will manage the window sizes and positions in the background? I had pretty much learned to live with it until I just moved from an old 17 inch CRT to a 21 inch wide aspect LCD monitor and now it's even more irritating than before with all that screen real estate. An…

How to prevent access to public folders?
by Guest Millie- 0 replies
- 234 views
Hello, Our active directory is on a Windows 2000 server. We also have Exchange 2003 running on the same box as the active directory. I have set up a user on the network with an Exchange mailbox. The user is a member of the Domain Users group. Users access their email from the desktop or via Outlook Web Access. All of our email users can access our public contacts information via their mailbox. Is it possible to prevent a specific user from accessing the public contacts information via their mailbox through Outlook Web Access? Thank you for your help.

Renaming Fonts?
by Guest Tony- 1 reply
- 304 views
Is it at all possible to rename fonts? I've received PDF documents with the font Helvetica-Bold in them. Helvetica is shipped with Macs, not Windows 2000. I'd like to copy Arial-Bold and then rename it Helvetica-Bold, but I don't know if the font name is inside the font file and if I'd be messing up anything. Thanks! Tony

I have a disk full of Linux files that I need to look at from my Win2k professional desktop. The workstation has Windows Services For Unix 3.5 on it. The disk connects with a USB port. Unforunately, that is as far as I can get. Looking at what documentation that I have been able to find so far, I cannot find any easy way to make this happen. Any suggestions?

Hi, recently my shutdown and restart buttons disappeared. I have done numerous spyware scans and virus checks, and it all comes up clear. I have modified the group policies several times with still no success. I have resorted to making some registry changes, but none of those have worked thus far. I need help! Thankyou in advance!
